ST MATRIX — Institutional Symmetrical Triangle EA
MetaTrader 5 | Netting & Hedging | All Brokers | Version 1.01
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IS ST MATRIX?
ST Matrix is a professional Expert Advisor built around the Symmetrical Triangle — one of the most reliable compression breakout patterns in technical analysis. The EA enforces a strict 5-point structure (H1 → L2 → H3 → L4 → breakout), applies institutional-grade filters before every entry, and manages trades with dynamic ATR-based stops and multi-level take profits.
Every element — from the dark navy chart skin to the Bloomberg-style dashboard to the silver trendlines on the chart — is designed to match the standard of professional algorithmic trading systems.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE PATTERN
A valid triangle requires four confirmed swing points forming converging trendlines — descending highs (H1 → H3) and ascending lows (L2 → L4) — plus a breakout candle that closes beyond the trendline with volume expansion. ST Matrix scores every triangle 0–100 based on symmetry, height, formation length, and volume contraction. Trades only fire above your minimum quality threshold (default 60). The grade — PRIME / GOOD / WATCH — appears live on the chart badge.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ENTRY FILTERS
• Breakout candle must close beyond trendline by a pip buffer
• Volume must spike above the 20-bar average by a set multiplier
• EMA 50/200 trend filter — only buy above, only sell below
• Candle body filter — doji and inside bars are rejected
• Spread guard — no entries during abnormal spread spikes
• Session filter — optional GMT trading window restriction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRADE MANAGEMENT
Stop Loss: Placed below L4 (buy) or above H3 (sell) using ATR × multiplier. Always respects broker minimum stop distance.
Take Profit 1: 1:1 R:R — partial close (50% default) locks in profit early.
Take Profit 2: 2:1 R:R — main target placed on chart.
Break-Even: Moves SL to entry once profit reaches 1× risk. Only fires at bar open to avoid tick-level broker rejections.
Trailing Stop: ATR-based trail activates after break-even. Updates once per bar open only — eliminates race conditions that cause failed modification errors in live and tester environments.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RISK MANAGEMENT
Position size is calculated dynamically: (Balance × Risk%) ÷ (SL distance / tick size × tick value). The result is clamped to broker minimum, maximum, and position volume limit (SYMBOL_VOLUME_LIMIT). If the account cannot afford the minimum lot, the trade is skipped — the EA never forces an oversized position.
Daily drawdown guard halts new entries if equity falls a set % below the day's opening balance. Daily trade count limit prevents overtrading. Both reset automatically at midnight server time.
Filling mode (FOK / IOC / RETURN) is detected automatically from the symbol's properties — no manual configuration needed.
